I wish the thoughts of you will just leave me as easy as the way you walk away
“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered you will never grow.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
“She was the kind of person who took care of things by herself. She’d never ask anybody for advice or help. It wasn’t a matter of pride, I think. She just did what seemed natural to her.”
— Haruki Murakami
“Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.”
— Sylvia Plath
Truth is that the heart needs more forms of love from your partner than just romantic love. It needs the nurturing and unconditional love like the one that comes from a parent. It needs the love that helps you achieve your maximum potential, that empowers your virtues and is patient with your flaws like that of a teacher. It needs the love of a friend who will listen without judgment, who will laugh with you and be your confidant and accomplice. It needs the devoted love of a healer who will tend to your wounds and hurts and never turn a blind eye to your suffering but rather help the healing process knowing all the time the healing and the timing is all yours. Love is more than just romance and passion, and sooner or later it will die out if you do not nurture all the other faces of love. For if love has a thousand faces, how bland would it be if my love for you were the same one all the time.

There is absolutely no point in trying to change how a person feels about you or treat you because if they genuinely care or love you, they will automatically show it without you trying to force it on them. Unfortunately that’s not how it works and it’s only makes them respect you less. You must set boundaries and cut off anyone that’s bad for you. You have to protect not only your mind but your heart.
“Don’t waste the rest of your time here worrying about other people—unless it affects the common good. It will keep you from doing anything useful. You’ll be too preoccupied with what so-and-so is doing, and why, and what they’re saying, and what they’re thinking, and what they’re up to, and all the other things that throw you off and keep you from focusing on your own mind.”
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Learn to be alone, and to like it. There’s nothing more freeing and empowering than learning to like your own company.”
